How to Apply
Dear Prospective Families,
Thank you for taking the time to explore our community and learn more about the unique opportunities awaiting your son.
Choosing the right school is one of the most significant decisions your family will make. As an alum parent and Princeton Academy of the Sacred Heart educator/administrator of 15 years, I know firsthand that we do more than just prepare young gentlemen for the next academic step; we nurture their passions, challenge their intellect, and inspire them to become creative, compassionate, and courageous leaders in their communities and beyond.
Our admission process is designed to be a mutual discovery. We want to get to know your son’s unique personality, strengths, and interests, just as we want you to fully experience our beautiful campus, dedicated faculty, and close-knit Sacred Heart community.
Whether you are joining us for an open house, scheduling a campus tour, or beginning your application, our admission team is here to guide and support you every step of the way.
We look forward to meeting your family and sharing what makes our beloved Princeton Academy of the Sacred Heart such a special place for young gentlemen to learn to lead responsibly, serve others, persevere in their challenges, and grow holistically.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Warm regards,
Lorna Cole Durish
Director of Enrollment Management

Admission Decision Notification
What I value most about Princeton Academy is the focus on developing my son's character in addition to providing a high level of academics. Being a Sacred Heart school adds a deeper level of spiritual growth that expands beyond the school day and is applied in everyday life. Our son is becoming a gentleman right before our eyes! It is truly what makes Princeton Academy unique and very special!
